Foster family

The Clunie Family

Sarah and her daughters regularly open their home to puppies in need. In 2026, Hazel set a goal to foster 18 puppies—helping each one leave with a stronger chance at a forever family.

For Sarah Clunie and her elementary-aged daughters, fostering puppies has become part of the family rhythm. Opening their home gives each puppy a calm place to land, learn, and grow while the rescue team prepares that puppy for adoption.

The girls help with the everyday work that makes fostering meaningful: building trust, celebrating milestones, and showing each puppy what family life can feel like. Every goodbye is bittersweet, but it also makes room for another puppy who needs a safe start.

In 2026, Hazel set an ambitious goal to foster 18 puppies. That goal captures what this family brings to rescue—steady care, joyful commitment, and the belief that every small act of love can shape an animal's future.
